About the Course

This course will help you recognize how the "digital thread" is the backbone of the digital manufacturing and design (DM&D) transformation, turning manufacturing processes from paper-based to digital-based. You will have a working understanding of the digital thread – the stream that starts at product concept and continues to accumulate information and data throughout the product’s life cycle – and identify opportunities to leverage it. Gain an understanding of how "the right information, in the right place, at the right time" should flow. This is one of the keys to unlocking the potential of a digital design process. Acknowledging this will enable you to be more involved in a product’s development cycle, and to help a company become more flexible. Main concepts of this course will be delivered through lectures, readings, discussions and various videos. This is the second course in the Digital Manufacturing & Design Technology specialization that explores the many facets of manufacturing’s “Fourth Revolution,” aka Industry 4.0, and features a culminating project involving creation of a roadmap to achieve a self-established DMD-related professional goal. To learn more about the Digital Manufacturing and Design Technology specialization, please watch the overview video by copying and pasting the following link into your web browser: https://youtu.be/wETK1O9c-CA...

Let me start with thanking the faculty and Coursera for breaking down the course in a structured manner. The course was good as a starter pack for anyone who is new to the field and has little or no information technology background. For existing practitioners much of the content would be known, specially topics for Week 2.

I have found publication from CIMdata informative and relevant in the context of Digital Thread and Digital Twin.

This course is all about showing what components are involved in seeing an integrated view of everything about an asset or product throughout its life cycle -- the Digital Thread. You can see the 30,000ft view or look at the nitty-gritty details using the resources the course provides. It's all up to you.

This was one of the most well executed courses that groomed me to grasp the concepts of the components of a digital thread in the Digital Manufacturing scenario. I loved the delivery and the illustrations and the reference material which talked about what actually is happening in the industry right now.

The concepts in this class are also applicable in many other fields and practices. Basically, the course emphasizes the importance of digitizing and quantifying our data and models so that we can make well informed decisions with much better precision than randomly guessing.
